Culture Center

The Culture Center, a contemporary though complementary companion to the State
Capitol, opened in 1976 to showcase West Virginia's artistic, cultural and
historic heritage. The lower level of the WV
State Museum recently re-opened after a complete renovation. You can also
view the art and history exhibits in the Lobby and the Balcony Galleries; browse
the State Archives library, or join in one of the dozen
exciting festivals and events held throughout the
year.

The Culture Center houses the offices of the Commission on the Arts and the
State Historic Preservation Office, as well as the State Museum, State Archives
and other administrative staff.
